It was a greate step forward and definitly the right decision to switch from SVN to a distributed version control system. If you want to try <a href="http://about.gitlab.com">GitLab</a> you should definitly install it using <a href="https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/">GitLab Omnibus distribution</a>.</p> <h2 id="manual-installation">Manual installation</h2> <p>But this long time ago there was no omnibus installation available so we installed <a href="http://about.gitlab.com">GitLab</a> with a manual <code>git</code> checkout. Their monthly release cycle brought some upgrade effort every month - there was an upgrade tool available which was <a href="https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/update/upgrader.md#gitlab-upgrader-deprecated">marked as discontinued</a> - so i started to write some anisble scripts to handle the upgrade process.</p>
